No. 1 in the driver's seat in updated SEC softball standings

The Oklahoma Sooners are in the driver's seat in the SEC softball standings after sweeping the Georgia Bulldogs. Oklahoma got some help as the Tennessee Volunteers won a series against the Alabama Crimson Tide, who were previously tied for No. 1 in the standings with Oklahoma entering the weekend.

The SEC has six teams in the top-10 of the NFCA coaches poll. The conference is home to the nation's No. 1 team, Oklahoma, who is a powerhouse in softball. Beyond Oklahoma, No. 4 Alabama, No. 6 Florida, No. 7 Texas, No. 8 Tennessee and No. 10 Arkansas are all ranked in the top-10.

The Sooners are expected to repeat as regular season conference champions entering the final weekend of conference play. If No. 1 Oklahoma wins their final series against No. 14 Texas A&M, then they'll secure an SEC title.

Over the final weekend, No. 10 Arkansas will play No. 7 Texas in a top-10 clash. No. 6 Florida has an outside chance at earning a share of the SEC title and plays a three-game series against No. 17 Georgia. The SEC Tournament is scheduled to take place from May 5-9 in Lexington, Kentucky.
